The innocence of a child

That same night, 8-year-old Nathan Maier won a brand new bike and helmet during a raffle held exclusively for kids 12 and under. Like every young person, this kid was so excited to have won. When we presented the bike to him, he indicated that he already had a bike. We were proud to inform him that now he has two bikes. As the evening went on, the dealership gave away flat screen TVs, Quartz watches, and cash, and then decided to give every kid in attendance an unwrapped toy. At the end of the evening, we were shocked when Nathan Maier of Manteca decided to give his bike back to the dealership so that another kid who didn’t have a bike could take this one. The dealership will honor 8-year-old Nathan’s wishes at their annual Christmas Eve Breakfast.
